WHICH PROVES HUMANITY AN ASS.
World Ever Turns the Cold Shoulder
Toward Inventors and 'Benefactors.
Andrew Carnegie has just written a
life Dr a memoir of Watt, the man 'who
made the steam engine praetical. Watt
didn't Onow exactly what he was doing .
'for the race, but if you will sit down
and try to think of the world Without
steam engines you will begin to under-
stand.
And just at this point there comes al-
ong a man in New York somewhere, ,,
named Hoffman, who claims, after thirty
years' struggles, to have invented a
"rotary" steam engine which will rele-
gate to the serapheap all the engines
now in use. Nearly all the people whe
know anything. about engines give Mr.
Hoffman the incredulous smile, And
perhaps rightly. So they did Watt.
But in. his ease they were wrong.
When Watt's engine was first thlked
about there were numbers •of seientifie
persons who rose up to give expert 'opin-

exceptions there opinions were ex-
ceedingly unfavorable. They were sure
